I liken it to the situation a couple of years back where we had Chester and Elphick at centre half. We were too easy to play against. As an opposition striker, I’d have relished playing against them two. Whilst Chester was a very capable footballer, he doesn’t strike fear into opponents. What we needed was a big, mean, nasty leader to come in and command the line - we got Mings, the rest is history. Strikers knew that they may get the occasional elbow or boot to the head. We needed that nasty, physical streak. This is what we need in central midfield now - A Mings-esque player. An enforcer that sure’s us up when teams try to play through us and counter attack against us. Luiz is good, McGinn is good, but neither are your classic defensive midfielder. Luiz is a very neat and tidy deep lying playmaker rather than that commanding, physical DM. I think we’re a quality defensive midfielder and a forward player away from being a top 6 side. That’s what I think anyway. Feel free to call me an idiot. yeah, if we are going to play 2 x DMs (6's) in a 4231 type formation, imo we need Luiz and another enforcer as you say, or in a 433, i still think we are missing the central bruiser DM who can recycle. Luiz and Mcginn are excellent footballers, but they are too small as a duo imo to both play together in that duo DM role, i think both are more 8's than 6's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or even the silly deal Sheff U did where Liverpool can piss around and do what they want. But if they're raising funds, straight £15m I think he'd be a good player for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they’re not going to be relegated anytime soon. The only other scenario that might agitate a move would be Bielsa leaving, and I don’t see that being a possibility anytime soon either. We need to look elsewhere. We would be kicking ass right now if he was in our team now but you’re right on the price and he isn’t leaving unless they get relegated.

We’ve kicked ass this season. Don’t get me wrong, I’d be delighted to see Kalvin Phillips in the Villa squad, but we’re doing very well without him.

Edit - Sekou Koita is someone worth looking at. A couple of technical speedsters I've seen in the French league but I've totally forgotten their names. One plays for Lille. It might be Johnathan Ikone, who plays for Lille. Looks decent. Linked with Chelsea and Leicester in the summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
